Senior Pastor Rev. Franklin Pyles

We give to our Lord Jesus, Lord of the Church, great praise for His many kindnesses to us and

for showing Himself to us in great ways through the year 2017. The many reports that are

included highlight so many areas for praise and it is not necessary to repeat them again but

simply to note the people who have turned to Christ and been baptized, some of them older in

years, some of them younger, all of them have expressed their faith with passion and sincerity.

We were able to hold one of our baptism services outdoors in the Credit River and there were

people who were not from our church who stayed and watched. We also had several events in

our church to invite people to, a spectacular Chinese New Year celebration, Alpha, Christmas

Eve in Cantonese, to mention a few. I am so grateful for all the people who worked so hard on

every event.

As you will note in the Report of the Treasurer we were able this year to pay off the mortgage

on the education wing. This has enabled us to increase our giving to critical missional efforts,

the Alliance Global Advance, our District church planting initiatives and CCACA. Our

denominational leaders have thanked us for this but we know that our increased giving is to the

Lord and for His kingdom.

Administration saw the elder’s creation of all-congregation work groups come into its full

functionality, with our Missions, Outreach, Community Service, AV, IT and Property

Management work groups making strategic plans and implementing many projects. You will

have a report from each of these groups but allow me to say that the work of each group has

been highly significant and when you consider their work as a whole, you realize that in each of

these areas of concern, our church took strong steps forward during the year.

Besides increasing our giving to missions, our church has and will continue to strengthen our

involvement in worldwide missions. We have a Seamless Link Agreement with Intern Ricky

Sanchez, which means that we are part of his financial support team and that we are actively

praying for him during his two years. As well, we have had significant dialogue with other

International Workers and we hope that, besides our Peru mission, we will soon become

involved in significant mission trips. For many this was highlighted by attendance and the Joint

Missions Conference at Mohawk College in August, a time of teaching and challenge in

missions.

As a church we are dedicating ourselves once again to being Zealous in Missions. We also want

to fulfill our mission to become more and more Seeker Friendly, which means that people who

are outside the family of faith, of whatever language or ethnicity, will find us to be a friendly

people who point them to the Savior.

God's Grace

In this line we became involved this year in a project to sponsor a family of refugees. They had

fled their home country of Syria and were located in a camp in Jordan. We feel blessed by the

Lord ourselves to be able to be ambassadors for Christ to this family in helping them to settle

into an apartment, learn basic skills of life in Canada, and begin to learn English. Please keep

the refugee task force in your prayers.

Finally, our whole staff wishes to express to you our appreciation for your labor in the Lord and

for your continual expression of your love for the Lord in your love for us. So many times you

stop us in the hallway and ask how we are, sometimes you pray with us and always you are

supportive of our ministry. We sense your love and we hope that in Christ you also sense our

love for you.

Blessings to you all!

God's Grace

Chairman of the Board of Elders Rev. Franklin Pyles

Your elders are thankful to the Lord for his continual blessings through the year 2017.

Elsewhere in this report you will find a list of those baptized and accepted into membership but

it is worth noting here that 25 were baptized and 36 were accepted into membership.

Our elders have been involved this year in a learning program in order to improve our skills on

an interpersonal and spiritual level. We were blessed by outside presenters Greg Langman from

the District Office who ran us through the Grip-Birkman assessment instrument, then Suresh

Gunaratnam who led us in a seminar on “The Speed of Trust”. Our District Superintendent

Stephen Harbridge led us in a day of strategic planning.

In the autumn we took a field trip to Scarborough Chinese Alliance Church to meet with their

pastors and some elders. There we discussed their experience with women as elders because

they were the first Chinese Alliance church to have women as elders. Having said that, it should

be added that they gave us a very positive report on their experience.

Also, Pastor Franklin has been leading the elders through instruction in the Four-Fold Gospel as

well and this encouraged us to begin the practice of praying for the sick in our services from

time to time.

Your elders also praise God for the generosity of the congregation. As you will note in the

Treasurer’s report we were able to pay off the mortgage on the educational wing and with

renewed confidence in your heart for outreach we have decided to increase our giving to

Alliance Missions (Global Advance), CCD District church planting efforts and vision, and to

CCACA. We trust that all the members will feel great joy in this giving.

Even though Pastor Pauline’s ordination occurred on the first Sunday of 2018 we feel that we

should say here how happy we are that she achieved this milestone and that we know that God

will continue to bless her in a great and powerful way in the coming year.

In order to keep the congregation aware of on-going developments in our church your elders

have, from time to time, invited leaders at all levels to gather. An update on church activities

and also on issues being considered have been presented. Included in such updates were items

such as those mentioned in the above paragraphs. As well, items such as the approach of New

Life Gospel Temple to rent from us for their worship service and the issue of women as elders

are examples of matters presented to the leaders in these meetings. We so appreciate everyone

who has taken time to join us and to give us their feedback.

God's Grace

Nominating Committee Rev. Franklin Pyles

Other Members: Eddie Chui, Dennis Chan, Andy M.K. Leung and Francis Wong

Your Nominating Committee is composed of two members appointed by the elders and two

elected by the congregation, plus the Senior Pastor who chairs the committee. It is charged with

bringing to the congregation one name for every vacancy on the board of elders. Those elected

will serve from the time of the AGM 2018 until the AGM 2020.

The elders are charged with setting the size of the elder board and have set it at seven. Those

continuing to serve because they are mid-term are:

Eddie Chui

Richard Chan

Dennis Chan

There are four vacancies on the elder board. After meeting for prayer and studying both biblical

qualifications and the traditional and legislatively required duties of elders, and after personally

interviewing each potential prospect, your Nominating Committee presents the following names

to serve as elders.

Dicken Tai (2nd

term)

Richard Yang (2nd

term)

Benjamin Lo (1st term)

Tomy Leung (1st term)

Please note that MCAC by-laws no longer allow nominations from the floor at the annual

meeting.

Elder’s Sharing Elder Dicken Tai

It has been a blessing and honor to serve God on the Elders Board for the past two years.

Looking back, I have experienced growth in my walk with God and have been inspired and

challenged to further build His Kingdom. Although the job of an elder is not always easy and

there have been challenging times; and though ordinary and imperfect, I find strength and hope

from God’s grace. Just as Jesus said to the Apostle Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my

power is made perfect in weakness".

Coming into this leadership role, I believed God would grow me into the role He had called me

to. However, my personal expectations have been unfolded by what God has opened my eyes

and ears to. In addition to learning more about our C&MA constitution and the MCAC bylaws

governing our church, God has also allowed me to realize that the board of elders is quite

different compared to a group of board of directors running a business. Actually, it is not us

who own MCAC, but it is God. As a result, the decisions we make should be made not only in

the best interests of our congregations, but also with the purpose of advancing God's kingdom

and glorifying His name.

As we look back on the past year of 2017, we can see God’s hand of provision and guidance

upon our church during this transition time. Looking ahead, I pray and truly trust that God has

greater things in store for MCAC. I would like to encourage all of us at MCAC to pray for God

to lead us in His will as He calls us to serve and step up as leaders, whether it be ministry

leaders, small group leaders, district leaders, or even elders.

My personal hope and desire for the Elders Board is to continue to build the unity and stability

of MCAC, to disciple and grow the spiritual lives of our second generation. We are grateful to

have Pastor Franklin leading us during this transition. As we continue to pray and search for an

Assistant Cantonese Pastor, Senior Pastor and Assistant English Pastor, we place our trust in

God that He has a perfect plan for this church.

As reminded by one of Pastor Pauline’s sermons from Dec 2017, may we hold Jesus’ Hand

tightly during challenges and not be afraid, but trust in God. Finally, as reminded by the C&MA

vision prayer, let us pray to be a Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused

movement in everything that we do, to be disciples that make disciples.

May God continue to bless MCAC!

God's Grace

English Ministry Rev. Franklin Pyles

Through 2017 the English Ministry has experienced many moments when we were strongly

aware of the Lord’s blessing. We have had a number of guest speakers, Bill Lobozoo, IW to

Cambodia, challenged us in the area of missions and Ryan Tudor ministered several times

calling us to the deeper life. The pastors rotated through the congregations in November, each

bringing a message on one part of the MCAC mission statement.

Small Groups

Small Groups are ably coordinated by Bonnie Lam who has seen the groups grow both in

number and attendance. Small Groups have become the place to meet for growing and

fellowship and have begun to be the action place for various congregational initiatives such as

fellowships.

Worship

Coordinated by Phi Nguyen, our worship and AV teams have continued to provide a focused

Sunday Morning service which incorporates the theme of the message into the overall pattern of

song and scripture.

Ministry

Ministry includes ushering and greeting and also the fellowship that occurs monthly, and

Ministry is coordinated by Irena Tin who has led us in the creation of a new Newcomers Card,

and has brought together a solid ushering team. The ministry team also assists us in Baptisms

and in the preparation of the Lord’s Supper and a very special thanks to those who help out in

this way.

Discipleship

At this point Discipleship is separate from Small Groups. Felix Chui held this portfolio but

desired to place a ministry emphasis elsewhere and so the leadership has fallen to Pastor

Franklin. Discipleship includes Mentoring which has been headed up by Irene Wong, Sunday

School that is coordinated by Stephanie Chong. Sunday School has expanded to two classes,

one which runs on an interactive basis and the other a bit more of a formal classroom basis.

Everyone is invited and may attend which ever class best fits their needs.

Outreach

EM has no outreach coordinator but was active in Alpha. The English Alpha table was the

location of very interesting and strong discussions. At the end we were so blessed to see some

turn to Christ.

In conclusion we give great thanks to the Lord for the true sense of his presence among us in

EM and look forward to a growing year in 2018.

God's Grace

#Stirred Small Group York Lim

It has been another great year for our small group. We rebranded it to #Stirred based on the

Scripture Hebrews 10:24-25 where it says, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to

love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging

one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

Our group has been consistent in meeting, eagerly sharing our lives together. We have instituted

Bible verse memorization because we know the value of holding Scriptures close to our heart.

I am looking for exciting things in 2018 as we continue to stir up one another to love and good

works.

Cantonese Ministry Report Pastor Pauline Hsu

New efforts in the Cantonese Ministry in 2017 includes establishing the small groups ministry

which started transition from fellowships in 2016, the training of discipleship instructors for

follow-up of new believers, and working with a web resource, careministry.com to develop a

biblically based caring training. The goal of these efforts is to encourage intentional discipleship

in a relational environment which is consistent with the great commission “To go and make

disciples of all nations.” While in the past, only a few were involved in these efforts mainly

through Sunday school, it is our hope that eventually, the small group will be a place where the

Gospel is shared in loving relationships and a caring environment, and where those who come

to Christ are established and equipped to be disciple makers.

Another new development in the trial stage is a Tuesday outreach program targeting recent

retirees, in place of Women’s Corner which has seen decreased attendance among younger

Cantonese women in recent years.

Ministry highlights: Discipleship Ministry

Discipleship Workgroup

The church-wide Discipleship Workgroup started to meet end of 2016 with representatives from

the English, Cantonese, Mandarin and student congregations. We studied the book

“Discipleshift” by Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington in the committee, with the goal of

building a common vision and to give us guidelines for developing discipleship in each

congregation according to their individual needs. We worked together to come up with a

definition of discipleship in MCAC, which is “To follow Christ and lovingly share life”. As

representatives from EM and SM left the group in the middle of the year to pursue further

studies or other ministry goals, the workgroup is on hold until new representatives are

appointed from these congregations.

MCAC Library

Due to the lack of usage of library books in recent years, the library was officially closed for

general use in January and made available to adult Sunday school teachers as a resource centre

for teaching preparation. It is hoped that it will eventually be a resource centre for other

ministries as well.

For other details, please see Discipleship Ministry coordinator’s report.

Small Groups Ministry

Small group guidelines, including purpose, small group covenant, small group leader

requirements, roles and responsibilities were reviewed by the small group committee and put

into writing in the beginning of 2017. Small Group Sunday in March celebrated the small group

ministry through appreciation of leaders during Sunday service and a time of fellowship among

all small groups after service. Support and training for small group ministry were provided

through regular small group leaders meeting and small group leaders training in the fall, as well

as visitation by pastors and elders.

Ministry Department There will be a change in leadership in 2018 as many of the leaders have been in the position

for more than 2 years. Starting in 2018, Ken Shum will be the department coordinator, Roy

Chan the head usher, Elisa Leung will take over greeters’ coordination.

Caring Ministry

Subscription to Careminsitry.com training material and coaching was started in April and we

received training material and started coaching sessions in May. Two of the training sessions

were translated and went through with committee members. The full training will be launched

in April 2018.

God's Grace


11

Women’s Ministry

After over 15 years, we have decided to stop Women’s Corner programs as there are few young

Cantonese mothers available to attend or serve in the ministry. Instead a trial run was started in

September to reach out to recent retirees. With the increasing population of Cantonese speaking

people reaching retirement age in the community, we hope to reach out to them and also offer

an opportunity for our brothers and sisters to be trained and equipped to serve, so that they may

continue to be discipled and make fruitful use of their golden years.

For other ministry details, please see respective ministry reports.

*****

Looking back over 2017, we have to give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness. Even though

we are short of a Cantonese pastor, the faithfulness of ministry leaders, brothers and sisters in

the Cantonese congregation, and the hard work of pastoral intern Wing Ho have enabled us to

see fruitfulness in our congregation’s efforts. I also want to thank Dr. Wing Sung, whose

preaching helped bring stability to our preaching ministry during this time of shortage. Dr. Sung

is an official worker of the C&MA and has given selfless assistance to many churches during

times of shortage in pastoral staff in the past.

Romans 8:28

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been

called according to His purpose.”

Pastoral Intern

Pastor Wing Ho

Thanks to God! I have now been serving full-time at MCAC for almost two years. I am thankful

to God for calling me. I would also like to thank the pastors and church elders who have

provided me with the opportunity to serve in church ministries, to brothers and sisters for their

support and encouragement. It is all God’s Grace.

“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we

may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)

May we all be encouraged and reminded by God’s Word!

In the past year, I served in the ministries of preaching, teaching Sunday school, individual

caring, small group visitation, and caring for sick brothers/sisters of our church. My main

ministry areas were church-wide outreach and the evangelism (Cantonese Evangelism

Department). Brothers and sisters from the Cantonese, Mandarin and English congregations

were connected as they worked together to plan and promote the ministry of sharing the Gospel

in our community.

The church-wide outreach programs are as follows:

• The Chinese New Year Carnival was held at the end of January, which attracted many friends

to our church to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

• During Easter, we delivered 1,000 door hangers to our neighborhood - invitations to our

church’s event.

• From June to July, we raised over $ 8,000 through the Garage Sale Fundraising Program to

support overseas missions. We also shared the Gospel with those who came to our garage

sales.

• In September, we participated in the Community Crime Awareness Day. This was a good

opportunity to connect with different people in the community. We were able to share the

Gospel with them and introduce our church ministries to them.

• Alpha Course was held in September, with church members from all three congregations

serving together for nine weeks every Saturday. At the close of the program, we had twenty

friends who were willing to accept Jesus Christ.

God's Grace


13

• In December, we went caroling three times to share the Good News in our community.

Through singing Christmas songs, we were sharing the Gospel in supermarkets and

restaurants. We handed out small gifts, along with invitations to our Christmas celebration.

• Various sports ministries, such as basketball, badminton and table tennis, ran every week and

these programs attracted a large number of friends. Through these sports ministries, non-

believers have a chance to hear the Gospel.

Please read Gary Hui’s report for more information about the Cantonese Evangelism

Department.

I believe that God is not concerned with the size of the event, the number of attendees or the

ministry outcomes. What God cares about is our serving hearts, our values, and our willingness

to fulfil the Great Commission. May our Lord empower and enable us, move more brothers and

sisters to share the Good News with their friends. May we be reminded by what our Lord Jesus

said: Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the

Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” (Matthew 9: 37-38)

Finally, please pray for me that God will help me keep a loving heart towards my brothers and

sisters, that I will faithfully follow the path of Jesus Christ, serve humbly, and be worker

pleasing to God. May all glory be to God!

God's Grace

Discipleship Department Grace Leigh

The mission of discipleship

To cultivate brothers and sisters’ heart for the lost - to observe the Great

Commandment (Mark 12: 30-31) and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-

20).

The goal of discipleship

To cultivate brothers and sisters’ faith in their walk

Follow the Lord Jesus (Romans 8:29) - follow the example of Jesus and practice

the love of God and people.

Help others to become disciples (Matthew 28:19).

Discipleship is a process in which a Christian engages with one or more spiritually younger

Christians in order to encourage them to grow and follow the example of our Lord Jesus.

Through one-on-one, three-person or four-person groups, the disciple nurturer helps the

younger Christians to have more faith in Jesus, have quiet time with God, and obey God’s

Word so that their lives are changed by God. New believers have many values that need to

be changed by God, including what they think about themselves, money, relationships,

jobs, priorities, and so on.

God makes the believers grow up - “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it

grow." (1 Corinthians 3: 6), but God uses us, imperfect people, to participate in this

process. Our role is to pray for the spiritual growth of the younger Christians so that they

can testify for Jesus among non-Christians, live a life that glorifies God, share the gospel

and help others to become disciples of Jesus.

Helping believers to grow is not just the responsibility of the Discipleship Department, but

also one of the goals of the Small Group Ministry. It is also a mission of every brother and

sister in the Lord. (Matthew 28: 18-20). The young Christians need to have fellowship with

brothers and sisters in the Lord, learn to practice the truth, care for one another, spur one

another on toward love and good deeds, learn to share gospel and testify for God, etc.

We teach the biblical truth because "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for

teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16) Our attitude

must be - "He must become greater; I must become less." (John 3:30)

God's Grace


15

I thank God that we have brothers and sisters who faithfully serve as Sunday school

teachers, disciple nurturers and life-changing group leaders.

Sunday school teachers who served in 2017:

Eddie Chui, Randy Chiu, Henry Luk, Alex To, Rebecca Tong, Francis Wong, Victor Yu,

Paul Wong and Pastor Pauline Hsu.

Disciple nurturers, new believer follow-up and life-changing group leaders in 2017:

Alice Tai, Dicken Tai, Vincent Lai, Judy Chan, Roy Chan, Karen Lau, Esther Lai, Kaitlan

Liang, Penny Lau, Grace Leigh and Pastor Wing Ho.

In order to help our brothers and sisters to understand what discipleship is and how we can

nurture new believers, the Discipleship Department organized two training courses from

January 21 to March 25 and from June 24 to July 28 2017. A total of 11 training sessions

were provided to help brothers and sisters who were willing to learn to be disciple

nurturers. The training was led by Pastor Pauline Hsu and myself, and more than a dozen

brothers and sisters attended. Our lives need to be continuously molded by God. We need

to pray continually, have self-reflection and apply Scripture in our lives in order to be a

God-pleasing disciple nurturer as we walk alongside the new believers or younger

Christians.

Pastor Pauline Hsu also made arrangements to have Dr. Ernest Cheng come on Sept 3 to

share his Sunday school teaching experience with us, as well as encourage the Sunday

school teachers and interested brothers and sisters. There were more than twenty people

attending and we all benefited from Dr. Cheng’s sharing and insight.

I thank God for leading us and I pray that God will continue to work in our lives so that our

lives will glorify Him and we also rejoice in the Lord.

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19a)

“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses

entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.”

(2 Timothy 2:2)

Cantonese Worship Department Ada Ko

Ministry Mission:

“Through music and A/V ministry, we serve to bring man to Lord Jesus,

to lead believers to worship with a true, thankful heart,

and non-believers to experience the first tastes of God’s love.”

It was all God’s grace. All of us continued to serve faithfully in various capacities. In 2017, we

had a few choir members joining the worship teams, and with added vocal harmonies, it helped

enhance the Sunday praise and worship experiences.

There were also different trainings organized:

For worship leaders – song selections and flow of worship, singing techniques

For pianists – attended public talks and demonstrations, learnt how to present music to

complement the overall worship experience

These trainings equip us in our role, and more importantly, that we will be able to lead the

congregation into a time of unhindered and fully engaged worship to the Lord.

Special thanks to Benjamin Lo who has designed a webpage and phone app for the Worship

Department for the purpose of keeping a record of the duty roster, as well as storing the worship

songs and choir sheet music.

Our Committee planned two retreats entitled “I am a Choir Member”. Small group

presentations, group drumming, games etc. were some of the activities to train our choir

members to be bold and to be quick-minded. We also had the opportunities to encourage, share

and pray with one another.

We tried to use more multimedia videos and put up decorations in the sanctuary for the Good

Friday and Christmas Eve services, which was another means to offer up a sacrifice of praise to

God, to lead the congregation into a prayerful worship time. We would also like to thank the

parents and children of Macedonia Fellowship who worshipped with us on Palm Sunday and

Christmas Eve.

There were a few Joint Worship Services in 2017 and we needed to manage the audio and video

processing in the sanctuary. Special thanks to the A/V team who came to the rehearsals, and to

the EM A/V team who served together with us. Thanks also go to brothers and sisters who took

up the task of getting the lyrics translated.

God's Grace


17

In 2018, we will continue to provide different trainings for all departments, to be equipped for

Grace District Anita Kwan-Kan

Most people in the world would prefer not to see any changes, but the world is constantly changing.

When new phones, new apps, new gadgets are launched, everyone gets caught up with excitement. Our

lives change but our faith should never change. God’s Word never changes.

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.” (Mathew: 28: 19-20)

The Great Commission calls on us not only to go, but also to make disciples. Spreading the Gospel is

a must, but we have got to be true disciples first, so the true gospel could be passed on.

Despite the many changes in the makeup of the pastoral team in the past years, MCAC’s Cantonese

congregants have been patiently waiting for God’s provision and guidance.

In the fall of 2017, Pastor Pauline delivered the Small Group Leaders Training. Small Group Leaders

had a clearer picture of the “Church of Small Groups Model” as they learnt how to run the Small

Groups to help every member to become a ‘true disciple’, not just a church goer.

It is a great blessing that we have many Small Group Leaders faithfully serving the Lord and patiently

waiting amidst changes.

Rome was not built in a day, and MCAC is a church with over 28 years of history. Many of us are

brought up in churches that use different models to grow their ministries. Asking us to go through any

change is challenging. Adjustments have to be made and a lot of hard work has to be put forward.

In the MCAC 25th

Anniversary Memories printed in 2014, we published 50 ‘Dreams in God’ from

brothers, sisters and leaders. One of them reads:

“More souls to be saved; believers becoming disciples; committed to

serve God; dwelling in God’s kingdom and glorifying Him through our

faith and love.”

Pray that God will help all of us to make our dreams be pleasing to God.

Sonshine District Raymond Tong

Sonshine District, formerly called Sonshine Fellowship, entered its second year in 2017. With the

sudden transition to the small-group based model, it took brothers and sisters a while to get accustomed

to the change, so 2017 was a year of adaptation. The small groups within the District did not go

through much change as we were still finding our way forward. May God grant us a clearer vision for

2018! Amen!

Of the four meetings organized this year, one was a joint meeting with another District:

February: Welcoming a New Season, a New Year

March: Joint-District Gathering

August: Reconstruct Your Values in Life, Develop a Christ-like Mindset

December: Christmas Celebration

Looking forward to 2018, we plan to organize at least 4 joint meetings with other small groups. May

God grant us wisdom for better planning outcomes! Amen!

Sonshine District Small Groups:

Faithfulness – Denny Ng (Leader) Eliza Lam (Assistant)

Patience – Ken Shum (Leader) Lok Wong (Assistant)

Enoch District Eddy Chan

In 2017, Rev. Pauline Hsu and all District Leaders worked together to once again develop a vision and

set goals for the small groups. The roles and responsibilities of District Leaders, Small Group Leaders

and members are more clearly defined. With the signing of the Small Group Covenant and the

celebration on Small Group Sunday in March, Cantonese Small Group ministry was again moving

ahead and embarking on a new beginning.

There were no major changes within these 3 small groups – Mark, Luke and John. It took almost a year

and finally the time was ripe for Harmony small group to split, which would happen in April 2018. The

birthing of a new small group is exciting. Kaitlan Wu stays as the leader of Harmony small group while

Vincent Lai steps up to be the leader of the new small group Joy. We pray that our Lord will empower

them. We hope that relationships among members will not be affected. As for Cedar small group, we

had members leaving and new members joining.

Sam and Eva Sit had been helping out our leader Agnes Yu and we sincerely thank them for their love

and support. May God bless them and every small group leader, that in the new year they will continue

to serve Him and others with a joyful heart, because we know we “can do everything through Him who

gives me strength.”

Isaiah Fellowship Nai-Yuen Ho

Isaiah Fellowship is a small but diverse group of young adults. This year, we maintained a steady

attendance of around 8 people per week. We enjoyed each other's fellowship through Bible studies,

workshops, social gatherings, monthly men/women's cell groups, and outreach activities such as

visiting Yee Hong for Mother's Day and joining MCAC's Chinese New Year Carnival. We had a great

turnout at our summer retreat over the Canada Day long weekend in Kitchener, where we delved into

God's Word, engaged in sharing and discussion, and basked in the great outdoors.

As young adults, we have been experiencing a lot of major changes in our lives such as welcoming the

birth of a new child, moving into a new home, or changing jobs. At the same time, we want to pursue

personal interests, invest time in relationships, and maintain a work-life balance. Despite the many

different challenges and demands, it is truly by God's grace that we have been able to continue meeting

weekly, and use our time and gifts to encourage and edify each other in this chapter of our lives. We

are very grateful for our counsellors Francis Wong, Shirley Leung, and Pastor Pauline Hsu for their

continued support and dedication to our fellowship. We were also especially thankful to have many

newcomers visit our fellowship this year.

God's Grace


26

In upcoming years, we will need wisdom to guide our fellowship as we continue to face the various

changes and challenges in our lives. May God strengthen and renew us during these times. May we

remain firmly rooted in Him and be able to grow not just in numbers, but also in our relationships with

each other, our local communities, and most importantly God.

“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is,

Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and

builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” (Ephesians 4:15-16)

Macedonia Fellowship

Karen Kwok-Liu

We had about 10 families in our fellowship group in 2017.

We saw God’s protection and outpouring of His grace upon

our families and children as we journeyed through the year.

We continued to learn to know more about God and

experienced Him more so that we would become spiritually

mature. We enjoyed our fellowship with one another as we

shared our faith and cared for those around us. This year we

had more families getting involved in children ministry,

serving with others to build God’s House. As in the past, we

met twice a month at church – Fellowship meeting on the

second week and small group meeting on the fourth week.

The task of leading Bible study fell on Samuel Liu and Jeffrey Yau, both of whom attended the

Small Group Leaders Training Course (Fall Sunday School Term).

Palm Sunday Worship Presentation with adult’s Choir

Pioneer Club ministry under the Children Ministry is a quality

Saturday program for children to grow. It was also a strong backup for

the parents while we met, knowing that they were well taken care of.

Special thanks to Pastor Faith for making all the ministry arrangements

to accommodate our needs, and to Esther Chu and Heidi Tse who

oversaw the Pioneer Club ministry. Shirley Sze continued to help out

taking care of our children under the age of 4. We thank her and Mr.

Sze for their love for our fellowship group, and for their faithfulness in

serving us.

Cantonese Caring Ministry Elder Eddie Chui

2017 was a year for us to be equipped for ministry. We have shifted from taking a more

traditional approach to ministry to using God’s Word and His promises to care for those in need;

from ministering to their needs to bringing them to God so they will experience Him in a

personal way. This shift in our ministry philosophy on caring in no way means we are

abandoning the traditional approach to caring. We exist not only to minister to the needs of those

we serve, but there is also more to what we are doing. We take it a step further, bringing them to

God so they will experience Him and walk closely with Him.

Our philosophy of ministry arises out of its mission statement – “Let us hold unswervingly to the

hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one

another on toward love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10:23-24). Along with the development of

the small group ministry, our pastor provides us with training resources from “Care Ministry”,

and the committee has embarked on the journey of getting equipped.

At the beginning of the year, the Caring Committee started to study the Care Ministry materials

to see if they were suitable for use in training. The first of these training sessions took place in

May and a step-by-step approach was taken. The series include different phases of training. Our

pastor and committee make regular communication with CareMinistry.com personnel to get

some hands-on experience and schedule recommendations.

While the training is going on, our committee will look for opportunities to share our ministry

philosophy with the Fellowship groups, the Districts and small groups, letting brothers and

sisters know the need to be equipped. Through vision sharing and training, our goal is to have

our leaders, including small group leaders, Fellowship and District Chairs and other ministry

leaders, embrace our ministry philosophy and extend care in their own community. This is the

ministry of caring on the frontline, and our committee is there to offer support, like providing the

necessary training and updated resources, prayer support, as well as outside support.

From getting equipped to the time when we are ready to put what we learn into practice, which

we hope is the end of 2018, the Caring Committee needs your prayer support. We ask that the

Holy Spirit will lead the whole ministry as we work with all the leaders, brothers and sisters to

spur one another on, holding on to God’s Word and His promises.

Lastly, may we be encouraged by Scripture: “No temptation has seized you except what is

common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1

Corinthians 10:13)

Mandarin Ministry Report Pastor Paul Tsai

Last year in my pulpit ministry, I preached a series of sermons on “Jacob Experiencing God”,

“Prepare Your hearts to Worship God”, “Building Up Your Church”, “Jesus is the Son of God”,

“Jesus is Christ” and “Be the Lord’s Disciples”. From our experiencing God personally to

worshipping Him and building up His Church, we pursue a common goal to fully know Christ

and to fulfill the Great Commission.

During Sunday School last year, from February to the end of the year, we launched a Bible

reading plan - An Overview of the Entire Bible. Five of us – Zhu Ai Min, Zhao Mei wen, Zhao

Hua Qin, Lu Li Xin and Liu Ling Ling completed the readings for all quarters. There were other

brothers and sisters who did not complete the readings, but they all had a desire to study God’s

Word and to know Him. Teaching the first quarter of the assigned Bible books for the week was

Pastor Paul; brothers and sisters serving on the Mandarin Ministry Committee partnered with

Pastor Paul in the teaching sessions of the second and third quarters. It was our hope that

everyone was able to get a rudimentary understanding of the whole Bible, which would help in

our pursuit of spiritual maturity.

In addition, Michelle taught 2 Sunday School classes, one in April and one in September. These

2 classes focused on Caring and Counseling; those who were burdened with the ministry or those

who felt the needs found the classes very helpful.

For special gatherings, we held a Good Friday service, even without the ministry of the pianist.

All who attended were touched by our Lord’s great sacrificial love for us. Brothers and sisters

experienced renewal in their lives after attending the one-day devotional meeting in November.

Our guest speaker was Rev. Zhou （周汝文牧師）who had travelled from afar. We would also

like to specially thank Mr. and Mrs. James Zhu’s ministry service in the devotional meeting. Dr.

William Tsui preached a lively and insightful message at our Christmas evangelistic meeting; we

heard the inspirational appeals in his presentation of the gospel message.

Each month in the past year, we had a Love Feast. It was a time that we would fellowship over

food and celebrate birthdays. There was much preparation work before the meal and clean-up

afterwards. We all witnessed the joy and beauty of giving and serving in our fellowship in Christ.

Our small groups met once or twice every month. We had meals together, followed by Bible

study and prayer time. Lots of wonderful memories were created.

God's Grace


32

Looking ahead in the new year, we plan to start a new series on “Equipping Believers” during

Sunday School time, helping brothers and sisters to walk in their faith. Under the leadership of

Sofie Ye, the functions of each small group will be strengthened. Brothers and sisters will be

encouraged to dive deeper into the Word of God in their daily devotion, to be more involved in

small group interactions and ministry service, that we will grow in love and build each other up.

Seeing a wave of immigrants from Mainland China, we pray to God to train and equip our

ministry team so that we can be more effective in serving them. We pray to God that we will

fulfill His will and share His joy as we sow and reap together.

God's Grace


33

Worship Ministry Elder Richard Yang

God continued to watch over the Mandarin Ministry in 2017. At times we did not have a pianist

and there were other problems like time conflicts, we experienced a shortage of workers to serve,

but God always met our needs in a timely manner. By God’s grace, we were blessed and

strengthened through His Spirit. We strived to worship Him in spirit and in truth, singing to Him

with gratitude in our hearts, praising and glorifying His Name.

The Chairperson

The Chairperson plays a key role in corporate worship. The flow of the service and the

effectiveness of the congregation being led into God’s presence have to do with how he/she

prepares himself/herself spiritually, his/her understanding of Christian worship and the posture of

his/her heart. The Chairperson leads the congregation, from start to end, to worship God in spirit

and in truth. God is the center of worship as he/she leads the order of the worship service, reads

Scripture passages and announcements. Brothers and sisters who served in 2017 as Chairperson

are: Henry Ho, Tao Guan, Zach Chu, Sofie Ye, Jenny Zhu and Richard Yang.

Holy Communion

Our pastor presides over the Holy Communion which is celebrated on the first Sunday of each

month. It is a time to remember what the Lord has done for us. It is also a time that we

fellowship with Him. As we partake of the bread and cup, we should approach the Lord’s table

with submission and reverence, with hearts filled with thanksgiving for His salvation, while

looking forward to His second coming and being reminded to love and serve Him even more.

Brothers and sisters involved in this ministry in 2017 are: Tao Guan, Henry Ho, Dennis Chan,

Zach Chu, Sofie Ye, Jenny Zhu and Richard Yang.

Worship Team

We had 11 brothers and sisters serving on the worship and praise ministry. 2 sisters and a brother

stepped down because of personal reasons and we had 2 sisters joining the team in the fourth

quarter. Altogether there were 7 sisters serving as the pianist. Those involved in this ministry are:

Amy Kwok, Kitty Lam, Cecilia Cheung, Emily Yeung, Fandy Mao, Susan Shan, Sheng Ping Li,

Abby Lin, Suzzane Jiang, Alice Guo, Sherry Yang, Tao Guan, Jennifer Liu, Yang Xuemei, Anna

Gina Jiang, Dorothy Guan, Sarah Yang and Richard Yang.

34

Many of our worship team members were wearing many hats in ministry service but each of

them served with a reverent heart, conscientiously preparing and rehearsing the songs for

worship. Through music and songs, they led the congregation into God’s presence.

God blessed us by bringing 3 young pianists from the Cantonese congregation to fill help out

with piano accompaniment. Not only were we able to work around each other’s schedule, other

pianists were able to take breaks and not get too exhausted. There was also a time when no

pianist was available, Pastor Paul stepped up to lead the worship with recorded background

music.

Our team worked closely with other ministry departments, especially with those in General

Services and A/V. Every Sunday before the worship service, we set up the piano, music stands

and microphones, getting everything ready for the worship leader and pianist. We also helped

projecting the lyrics on the screen.

Choir

Our Choir presented songs in the Good Friday service and Christmas Eve evangelistic meeting.

Kindness small group members also joined in at the Good Friday service. Brothers and sisters

have not received any formal music training. The challenges we face during practice help us see

how small and insignificant we are, that we need to humble ourselves before God. We desire to

serve in one hart and in one spirit, joined in unison to give Him glory and praise. God remembers

us and His grace is sufficient for us. God will do what we ask when we seek after His own heart.

How great is God’s grace toward us! We are undeserving of His grace and mercy but He

demonstrated His love for us, that in Him we have redemption through His blood, that we are

lifted up and can stand before Him to sing a heavenly song. What splendid glory! We thank God

for His grace toward us, that we can be a part of the worship ministry and together with the

congregation, witness His awesome power, mighty deeds and presence in our worship to Him.

We also give thanks to each one of those, in the past and present, who has been guiding us in our

spiritual walk and in our singing skills; those who encourage and support, care and pray for us.

Looking Ahead in 2018

In this new year, we ask that God will continue to watch over our worship ministry and each one

of us workers. It is also our hope that more dedicated and gifted brothers and sisters will join us,

glorifying God’s Name together with us.

The power of true worship brings about transformed lives. With a thankful heart, may we

worship God in spirit and in truth in our church, and extend our worship to our homes, our lives

and in our workplace! May His glory manifest through us wherever we go!

Mandarin Women Ministry Abby Lin

The women’s ministry was launched in May of 2017, with Abby Lin being the Coordinator and

serving alongside Pastor Paul’s wife Michelle. We grew from a sisters group who met during the

day to an additional one who met in the evening, ministering to the different needs of our sisters.

We give thanks to God for His leading.

In early May when the morning sisters group (about 12 – 16 attendees) started to meet every

Thursday at 10 a.m., our focus was Bible study, with Abby Lin leading the study of the Gospel

of Luke. It was our goal that newcomers and new believers would know more about our faith and

grow spiritually. We give thanks to God for our team of sisters who helped out in leading Bible

study, arranging transportation and preparing meals – Xiang Dong, Yu Hua, Xiu Mei and Lucy.

From September to December, the meeting day changed from Thursday to Tuesday, at 10 a.m.

We were studying the Bible in the odd week, doing the Praise Dance of watching testimonies on

DVDs in the second week, participating in the “Fueling Station for an Active and Vibrant

Lifestyle” (cooking programs and health talks) in the fourth week. We praise and give thanks to

the Lord as we saw our sisters always looking forward to participating and having fun every

week. Our hearts were filled with great joy as we witnessed two seekers attending the Alpha

Course and made a decision for Christ. Praise the Lord!

Starting in 2018, meeting time will remain the same (every Tuesday at 10 a.m.), but we have

made some changes to the programs. Each month there will be 3 Bible study sessions led by

Abby and one session on a special topic led by Pastor Paul and his wife Michelle. We will also

plan a feast or picnic once every 2 months.

The evening sisters group led by Michelle was formed end of May. We have been meeting twice

a month every other Friday at 8 p.m. at different sisters’ residence. The programs for the

meetings mainly focus on topics about life – “Knowing Yourself”, “Family of Origin”, “Self

Image”, “Personal Relationship”, etc.

After the summer holiday, we organized these faith-based talks covering topics like

“Depression”, “Stress Management”, “Love and Accepting Yourself”. The lessons learnt could

be applied to our everyday life. Not only did we get practical help, we were able to reach out to

the seekers. There were 11 to 15 ladies attending the group. We thank God for our team of sisters

- Tian Lin (Leader), Karen, Grace and Ivy (Assistants).

Meeting time from January to June in 2018 remains unchanged (every other Friday at 8 p.m.).

Theme: Resting in God’s Love; Book Study: The 12 Exercises of Love.

In the beginning of 2017, we introduced a structured program in the Nursery, which included

Circle Time (singing common nursery rhymes), Bible story time from the “See What God Made”

curriculum, and praying time with the babies. This 15-minute program not only encouraged

language and interaction skills among babies and volunteers, but also provided a nurturing

environment for babies to have spiritual growth. We thank the following Circle Time facilitators

for helping out: Vicki Chui, Betty Leung, Pastor Faith Lee, Ginny Lee, Angelica Lim, Daphne

Ng, and Sarah Tsang.

Thanks be to God! There are 14 babies registered in nursery in 2017. 5 baby boys and 2 baby

girls during English Worship time, plus 3 baby boys and 4 baby girls during Cantonese worship

time, with average attendance of 6 babies from both. The maximum record was having 16 babies

in both sessions.

In 2017, Nursery added Angelica Lim as a member of the Department of Administration. A total

of 36 volunteers served in 2017:

2. Junior & Children Worship (Minda Lam)

Our Heavenly Father showered upon the Junior and Children Worship Ministry lots of His

wondrous blessings. In the beginning, this lovely group of children were shy, crying due to

separation anxiety, but after a while, we heard laughter as they were playing and learning happily

together. There were even some little kids who would walk over to hug us when they saw us.

These lovable, innocent children are growing day by day, surrounded by love and in a happy

environment. We are greatly encouraged by this.

It is most heartening to see many young brothers and sisters having the burden for children

ministry. With more young people on board serving with us, we see our team is full of energy

and vitality.

It is all God’s grace upon Children Ministry and we give our Heavenly Father all the glory and

honor.

JKB provides Sunday school classes to kids aged 2 ½ to 6 years old while their parents are at the

worship service from 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

These 18 young kids are divided into three classes: Preschool, Junior Kindergarten and Senior

Kindergarten. Bible song singing takes place in the Social Hall, Bible story time and craft in the

classroom. Currently, the curriculum being used is from Group, which provides multi-sensory

teaching, e.g. attractive colors and pictures throughout the pages, and this immerses the kids in

deep Bible learning.

During the year, a few extra-curricular activities were organized:

Monthly family devotion (Sep to April) – Rev. Faith Lee

Take Home Event (once a year per class, done during Family Devotion) – Rev. Faith Lee.

Graduation and Fun Day (June) – after the graduation ceremony for the SK kids, all kids

participated in activities such as animal balloon twisting, play dough, tattoo and mini roll

coaster.

Reading Buddy program resumed in December. Grade 6 students read Bible stories to our

kids on the last Sunday of the month.

4. Senior Kingdom Builders SKB（Yvonne Ip & May Hsieh）

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

(Proverbs 22:6)

2017 was a wonderful year for us Senior Kingdom Builders. With God in our hearts, our team –

Children Pastor, department heads, administrators, teachers and assistants worked together to

make SKB a great place for our children. God is the Master of the SKB program; without His

mighty work, our efforts will be in vain.

This year, we continued to use “TruStory”, a curriculum based on a chronological scope and

sequence. According to the publisher’s description about the curriculum, its philosophy is that

the Holy Spirit is God’s chosen teacher.

“Taking Faith Home” from Milestones Ministry is still the source of material for our children’s

daily Bible reading. As indicated by Milestones Ministry, the key features of “Taking Faith

Home” include the following:

Four Key faith practices - caring conversations, devotions, service, and rituals and

traditions

A weekly prayer, Bible verse, mealtime prayer and blessing

Suggested daily Bible readings and hymn for the week

Family Worship, Take It Home Event, summer reading, drawing and writing contests.

In 2016, we had a trial run of “Reading Buddy” program to help children connect with one

another, as well as foster reading habits in our young children. Our feedbacks showed that the

program was well received by children from preschool to JK and SK. So we continued to run the

program in 2017, with children from Grade 6 read to the JKB.

Alice Lok, our Grade 5 Team B teacher, will be welcoming her new baby in January 2018. We

are excited to have a new student joining us. We would like to thank Alice Lok for her faithful

ministry service.

The Bible Contest took place on 28th

May and

the awards went to the following children:

Junior (Grade 1 to 3): Aimee Hua

Senior (Grade 4 to 6): Janice Wong

We give thanks to the Lord for His guidance,

leadership and faithfulness. As before, we

would like to name and thank those who have

served in the SKB Department. Their dedication

5. Children Summer Camp & Sport Camp (Gladys Sit)

Children Summer Camp is an outreach program every year. We had a wonderful Children

Summer Camp this year! We formed a committee in February, and in March we started to

recruit volunteers and promotion.

This year’s theme was “Maker Fun Factory” where kids learnt that they were created by God and

built for a purpose! The Bible Point - God made you, God is for you, God is always with you,

God will always love you, God made you for a reason … Wow!

God's Grace


41

There were 6 stations set up for the campers this year - Sound Wave Sing & Play Music, KidVid

Cinema, Imagination & Cheers, Game Makers, Bible Discovery, Snack Factory & Mission. The

children were assigned into five different groups - Decker, Tina Termite, Bubba, Skyler and

Abbee. Each group was led by crew leaders as they travelled to each station to explore, learning

about the eternal love of God. Every day kids were learning together, through songs, Bible

stories, games movie, snacks as they explored God’s Love.

152 children joined children summer camp this year, including 123 elementary students and 29

kindergarten kids. 40 children accepted Christ. Praise the Lord! The total number of volunteers

was 106, including 11 kids on the Children Singing Team. This year, we continued to choose

“Operation Christmas Child” to be our Mission Project. We asked every camper and volunteer

to bring a gift to be put in a gift box. We collected a total of 26 gift boxes which was packed

with the blessings of the children. It is so encouraging.

The Closing Ceremony was held on Sunday, July 16 and all the parents who sent their kids to

our summer camp were invited to come. After the ceremony, non-Christian families were

invited to stay and have a hotdog lunch with us. This gave us an opportunity to talk to them.

Finally, I would like to thank all the volunteers who participated in CSC, with special thanks to

the Committee, Kitchen Team, Station Leaders, Crew Leaders, Singing Team Leaders, AV Team,

After Hour Team, Decoration Team, Photography. We appreciate your ministry service, hard

work and faithfulness as you served together with one heart. Thank you for being a part of this

ministry. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom

of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14) May all glory and honor belong to God!

Summer Sports Camp

Summer Sports Camp was held on July 24 to 28. We had 60 registrations and Joseph Lee, the

summer student, coordinated all daily activities – soccer, basketball, ball hockey, games etc.

Each day our campers also learned Bible stories and had devotions. 12 kids accepted Christ. All

who attended had a great time at camp and we are looking forward to running this camp next

year.

6. Jumping F.R.O.G. and Pioneer Club (Esther Chu)

2017 is a big transition for our Children Fellowship from Jumping F.R.O.G. Club to Pioneer

Clubs. We had Jumping F.R.O.G. from January to April, then changed over to Pioneer Club

from September to December. We thank God for all His provision and His great love to all

involved in the ministry!

Jumping F.R.O.G. Children Fellowship from January to April 2017

Jumping F.R.O.G. stands for ‘Fully Rely On God’. Our mission is to help children to put

Christ in every aspect of their life. Our Club Verse is ‘Don’t let anyone look down on you

because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith

and in purity.’ (1 Timothy 4:12)We continued the theme of 2016 as ‘Kids Serving Kids’.

Our two theme verses:

“God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence,

‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me.?’”

(Hebrews 13:5-6)

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us

consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10:23-24)

We are using real life stories around the world together with similar Bible stories to tell the

Truth. We have learnt ‘the need for a Rescuer’ which relates to Jesus calming the storm, ‘the

need for Persistence’, to the parable of the persistent widow, ‘the need for Aid’, to baby Moses

and ‘the need for Safety’, to Joseph and his brother. With the Truth hidden in their hearts, all

froggies can put in practice what they have learnt.

Apart from regular meetings, we had many exciting and unforgettable events. One of the

highlights was Easter Celebrations and Egg Hunt on Mar 26. Our little froggies

enthusiastically searched around for eggs with Bible word puzzle in order to complete a Bible

verse within the shortest time. Rev. Faith also shared with us the message of Easter.

On April 23, we have another kids’ favorite - ‘Mini Olympics’. Our club members competed in

4 games like short run, long jump, high jump & bean bag toss. It was fun and exciting to

participate in the competition and they did their very best for the medals.

God's Grace


43

This year, there were 40 children registered in the program. Our Committee members are

pm. It includes Bible story, crafts, games, snacks, prayer, singspiration and gym time.

Pioneer Clubs from September to December 2017

Pioneer Clubs focuses on DELTA - Disciples Equipped for Life Transformation and Action!

Disciples “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.” （John 8:31）

Equipped for “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting

and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly

equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Life “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)

Transformation “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the

renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what

God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)

Action “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

(James 1:22)

God's Grace


44

The theme of this year is ‘Knowing God’s Love’. We have learnt God’s love through the Bible

and to show God’s love to others. Skill Award (artist, chef) and Games Award (ball games, play

together) are given out. We have added some new exciting components to the curriculum, like

preparing dinner before each meeting. What a treat to everyone in the Clubs! Thank you so

much to our Food Team. We have Bible story, crafts, games, snacks, prayer, singspiration and

gym time in the program, which runs on the 2nd

, 4th

and 5th

Saturdays from September onward,

5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

We continued to organize special programs for Pioneer Clubs, like Christmas celebration -

Christmas Movie Night - on Dec 9. We all enjoyed the movie ‘The Legend of the Three

Trees’. Rev. Faith Lee also shared about the true meaning of Christmas. This year, we invited

the kids’ whole family to join the celebration. We thank God for a good time together.

This year, we had 49 children registered in the program. There are 3 clubs within Pioneer Clubs,

namely: - Hikers (Kindergarten)

Adventurers (Grade 1-3) and

Navigators (Grade 4-5)

Our Committee is comprised of the following members:

Rev. Faith Lee (Advisor)

Esther Chu (Coordinator)

Heidi Tse (Treasurer & Registration)

Julia Zhu (Secretary)

Nora Ng (Administrator)

26 dedicated volunteers (Club Committee):

Club Leaders - Gladys Sit, Erica Quan, Joshua Hsieh, Robert Hong,

Office Assistant - Stephen Lu

Food Team - Jimmy Chow, Tammy Chan and Mila Hui

Pioneer Clubs offers time-tested, age-appropriate kids’ ministry programs that are Bible-based,

Christ-centered, relationship-focused and fun for everyone involved. The club programs

integrate spiritual and personal development to help todays’ kids learn to follow Christ in every

aspect of life. And the collaborative approach to ministry allows girls and boys to build healthy

relationships with friends, caring adults and, most importantly, Jesus.

Hope that the life of every single kid in the Pioneer Clubs is transformed by our Lord Jesus

Christ! Amen.

Captain (C), Co-captain (CC), New Quizzer (N)

Last year our church had the privilege of sending 5

teams comprised of teams of 4 - 5 quizzers to the

Central Canadian District Bible Quiz held all over

Ontario as they studied the book of Luke from

September 2016 to May 2017. Here are just a few of

the many amazing achievements our quizzers worked

so hard for last year.

Mississauga 3 came in 3rd

overall and

Mississauga 1 came in 8th

out of 34 teams for

the year

Gianni Tse placed 3rd

out of 40 new quizzers

for the whole year

For the first time in our history, our church

was able to send two quizzers, Ezra Chu and

Nathan Chu, to represent MCAC and CCD at

Internationals

Nathan Chu finished the year in 2nd

place, Ezra

Chu in 5th

, and Daniel Quan in 11th

out of more

than 140 quizzers

Ezra Chu and Nathan Chu were part of the District International Teams.

Each week the quizzers gather, study, and memorize their designated chapter and then we have

practice with 6 coaches every Sunday from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm. Together we work with the

quizzers to understand the material they are studying as well as support them in any other aspects

of their lives. We have Pastor Faith, Pastor John, Pastor Franklin, as well as Gay Nell Pyles share

devotionals throughout the year with our quizzers, and occasionally we also have our own

quizzers and coaches share devotions with the class. We are so blessed to have the pastoral staff

as a source of support and encouragement as we move along the material.

Ezra Chu and Nathan Chu, together with the International teams, competed at Crown College at

Minneapolis. Ezra won the Rookie Award.

Bible Quizzing 2017-2018

Lastly, for the current year we are thrilled to have Johnny Chan, a recently graduated quizzer,

and former coach Cindy Mah join the coaching staff once again as the quizzers study 1 and 2

Corinthians for 2017-2018. We have a total of 9 new quizzers this year and they have all worked

extremely hard and have done exceptionally well along with the older quizzers. As of Quiz 1 and

2 for 2017-2018, all 5 Mississauga teams are placed in the Top 10 out of 32 teams which has

never happened before in the history of MCAC Quizzing!

III. Others

1. Summer Students

We would like to thank Anna Jiang and Joseph Lee for being our Children Counsellors

under the grant from Canada Summer Job. They did a great job helping out in Summer

Camps, in preparing the SKB handbook and the parent online check-in system.

2. Christmas Operation Child & Oct Reaching 3000 for Jesus

A total of 240 shoe boxes were collected. Each box was a very special blessing to a very

special child. Thank you to those who donated. We also continued to give out gospel

tracts to kids on Oct 31.

3. Volunteer Training

We thank Vicki Mar for leading the Ministry to Special Kids training, and for Pastor

Faith who led the mandatory Plan to Protect Refresher course, the Plan to Protect

Refugee and Plan to Protect the Youth course.

4. Joint Sunday Worship

It was a great joy to attend the Joint Service on CSC Parents Sunday, and the December

Christmas & Baptismal Service. There is great value in worshipping God in a family

setting and in seeing all congregations gather together in these special church-wide

occasions.

5. Preaching in Mandarin

I would like to thank the Board for giving me the opportunity to learn Mandarin this year.

I preached to the Mandarin congregation twice and now have more confidence in

reaching out the Mandarin-speaking people.

Heading to 2018

We will continue to train the volunteers to keep up the great job, and to partner with parents to

train children being Christ’s disciples.

Ping Pong Outreach

Al Chan

We give thanks to God for all His overflow of blessings upon our Ping Pong Ministry in the

year of 2017.

Ping Pong Ministry is an outreach sports program that provides a common platform for ping

pong enthusiasts in Mississauga and nearby Brampton.

We are open once a week on Thursday evenings from 7 PM to 10 PM. We have on average

between 20 — 40 ping pong friends attending this Thursday Ping Pong Night. The median

number of attendees is about 30.

Our objective is to spread Jesus' gospel to all these attending friends. Some of these friends are

from MCAC and others (including churched and unchurched friends) are mainly from the

Mississauga and nearby Brampton community. We have been sowing the gospel seed; we are in

hope that when the time comes for our ping pong friends who are in need of help from our Lord,

our church is ready to welcome and help them.

During Ping Pong Night, we have a 20-minute gospel sharing time, usually using Gospel videos

of some heart-touching testimonies from those who were converted to Christians through Jesus's

mercy during their difficult times when no one was able to help. We also have gospel videos

introducing the historical places of Jesus's footpath as well as some biblical knowledge of

Christianity. During the sharing time, we often promote church activities, such as Alpha,

evangelistic events and other church activities within MCAC.

Our Ping Pong Ministry is directed by a committee comprising the following five members:

Chair — Al Chan

Vice Chair — Stephen Ho

Member — Dicken Tai

Member — John Chow

Member — David Cheung

We also have some special MCAC ping pong friends helping out:

1. Rick Hung opens the door and helps setting up ping pong tables on a weekly basis

before 7pm on Thursday.

2. Charlotte Cheung helps on a weekly basis to organize and run the recreational tables.

3. Tomy Leung helps to do gospel sharing on a monthly rotating basis. He is also one of

the team captains. His wife, Kitty Leung, also helps with interpreting when needed.

God's Grace


48

On top of these special MCAC friends, we also have some special guests who help us in

coaching our ping pong friends.

Zedplin Law (an amateur ping pong player and a licensed ping pong coach in Canada) and his

daughter, Samantha, have done some volunteer coaching in the months of May and June of

2017. We sincerely thank them for their efforts and time.

In the summer months, we organized an in-house friendship tournament where the advanced

level players and beginner players mingled together for friendship and fun. The top four winners

are:

1 st

place - Dicken Tai

2nd

place - David Wu

3 rd

place - Tak Kwan

4th

place - John Chow

We pray to our Lord to bring in more unchurched ping pong friends from Mississauga and

nearby Brampton. With God's grace, we can sow the gospel seed for His glory.

God's Grace


49

Badminton Outreach

Esmond Cheung

Badminton ministry is open almost all year round, except during these 2 months in the summer

(July and Aug) and during the Christmas season.

The number of participants remains steady, between 20 to 25 people. We have brothers and

sisters from all three languages - English, Cantonese and Mandarin. The number tends to

increase starting in April when the university school year comes to an end.

Rebecca Lui resigned from the ministry early this year and we are now down to 2 people serving.

We welcome any church member who wish to join the ministry.

Last year, there were a few cases of sprained ankle and muscle cramps, which happened mainly

to the newcomers who had not played for a long time. We were a bit nervous as our first aid

knowledge was limited. Thanks to the Lord that they all recovered after a good rest.

On December 19, the last play date of this year, there was a Christmas celebration. Everybody

brought in a snack to share and Pastor Wing Ho gave an interactive sharing about the birth of

Jesus Christ where non-church goers were able to participate in the dialogue. Pastor Wing also

challenged them to come not only to play badminton, but also to attend Sunday service so they

could get to know more about Jesus.

May God’s Word move these people to know and embrace the gospel.

Property Management Workgroup (PMW)

Eddy Chan

As the property of MCAC (internally or externally) is getting old and need repair/maintenance,

the Property Management Workgroup (PMW) was set up in 2017. Core members of this

workgroup are from the Cantonese, Mandarin and English congregations.

In 2017, projects done included fixing the problems with the retaining wall on the Kennedy

entrance, chopping down a majority of the deceased trees, repairing different areas upon request.

For sure more major and minor projects are coming our way and we need all the help that we can

get.

MCAC is our HOME. The building is over 20 years old and it needs our efforts to be kept in

good shape. Let us all work together for our family home of MCAC!

Refugee Ministry Ginger Tey

The MCAC Refugee Ministry has leaped into its second year. 2017 has been an eventful year.

Withdrawing Our Application for the Shatelah Family

Situation

On June 18, the Shatelah family informed Ginger that they just moved to France. Though

it was a treacherous trip, they made it safely as a whole family. They're re-uniting with

their brother in France. However, they regretted moving to France since the living

expenses are too high, and French is difficult to learn. They still preferred to come to

Canada, and asked me if our sponsorship can continue. After some research with the

SAH, our best feasible option is to withdraw our application to sponsor this family.

We submitted our request to withdraw the case on June 26.

Lessons Learned

So we had a second chance to re-think our strategy and pray for God's guidance. There were

some lessons learned here:

The refugee situations are highly fluid and dynamic. They're constantly looking out for

options. Or being pressured into an option without fully counting the cost given the

circumstance.

The processing time is getting longer. During these 15+ months of wait time, anything

could happen given the fluid nature, especially in the case when we don't have a pre-

existing relationship to build on.

Recently I've had a chance to connect with a few Arabic Christians from Syria and Egypt.

They told me some of their firsthand story of the hardships Christians have to live

through in the middle-east today. A few committee members have expressed desire to

sponsor a Christian family.

God's Grace


52

Sponsoring the Awasi Family

After many prayerful considerations and guidance from the elders, we decided to submit another

application through BVOR (Blended Visa Office Referral).

Aug 28: C&MA sent us the profile of the Awasi family who satisfies our selection

criteria

Sep 23: Application submitted to C&MA

Oct 11: Received Pre-NAT (Pre-Notification of Arrival Transmission), which gives us a

rough idea of when the family could arrive

Oct 17: Received NAT (Notification of Arrival Transmission), which informed us that

the family will arrive on Oct 30.

Oct 21: Set up Cultural Awareness training for the refugee ministry team and the church

Oct 30: The Awasi arrived Toronto on Oct 30

Nov 12: Plan to Protect (Refugee version) training for the ministry team

Lots happened in the first 4 weeks:

Applied and signed lease for apartment

Opened bank accounts

Set up cell phone plans

Applied for OHIP

Visited their family doctors and completed necessary blood work & X-ray

o The family can make their own appointment and visit the doctor on their own now

o Arrange specialist referral & appointment

Furniture & household items collection & moving

Applied for RAP (Resettlement Assistance Program) as part of the BVOR program

Applied for CCB (Canada Child Benefit)

They have come to MCAC twice: Dec 16 EM Christmas party and Dec 24 Christmas Eve joint

service

God's Grace


53

Where are we now?

Continue to work with the Awasi family: Much of the work and focus has been getting

them settled in Canada and teaching them about finance management. The next focus

area is to help them with the less urgent medical needs (eyes, dental) and provide them

with additional ESL support. We’d also like to connect them with Arabic-speaking

Christians in Mississauga. As we continue to work with them and befriend with them, our

conversations have become richer, which could give us more opportunity to witness

Christ. Please pray for the team as we continue journeying with them, we continue to be

missional and be good witness of Jesus Christ. Pray that God will open the door one day

to share the gospel with them.

Consider to sponsor persecuted Christians through private sponsorship: As we gain more

experience with the first sponsorship, we pray that God will open door to allow us to

sponsor persecuted Christians that have been knocking on our doors.

Thank you!

Thank you MCAC! We want to thank everyone’s generous contribution, support, prayer, and

participation. The outpouring of your love and care since the Awasi family’s arrival is

unparalleled.

We have to thank Pastor Melad from Rexdale Alliance Church for his continual support,

providing cultural training and numerous translation help over many appointments.

I’d like to thank the ministry team! We have a fairly big but very committed and engaged team,

each with a different role. You made all this possible.

Finally, praise God who made the impossible possible - all glory to Him!

All projects and goals for 2017 were achieved and completed smoothly. The community

projects gave us the opportunity to touch, feel and serve the real needs in our neighborhood.

This expanded our horizon as well as extended our ministry beyond the four walls of the church

building. MCAC has become more aware of and shown our care for the people around us.

Going forward, we will continue our vision – “Care to LINK” and become more proactive to

share God’s grace and love. We use our best effort to uphold justice and compassion to the local

areas and beyond as these are fundamental values and commands from our Lord Jesus Christ.
